Feature wise, I’m not sure what’s new here. Popular BDD style JS test runners/frameworks like Jasmine, Jest (IIRC delegates to Jasmine by default, though that’s swappable), Ava (custom built test runner), can all be configured, more or

Why is this being down voted? It's accurate.

This reminds me of tricks in JavaScript such as using !! to convert values to Boolean: it’s clever, “idiomatic” and save a few characters, but it’s not self explanatory to someone not familiar with the idioms

But the Coinbase founder was a technical one.

I worked as a SWE at Google and also at Google cloud. I both disagree with this and find it a very perplexing angle. I think the issue is a mis-aligned (financial) incentive structure. With the right incentive structure, challenges in eith

I agree. The visionary executive team at a certain company I worked at felt otherwise and poured millions and thousands of eng hours into recreating HTML/JavaScript MVC components, but with YAML

This irks of an entitled Googler. I reported up to Noam and he's an admirable leader to me. In fact, I will be excited to learn about and join his next project if it has a culture distinct from this Google "work life balance"

It's not inefficiency. Recklessness isn't the word, neither. It was greed and arrogance. (1) They borrowed more shares than in circulation (2) They double downed on their losing position and lost a $3 billion bailout within a day.
